“POCKET CHANGE WARS!”
PTF fundraiser starts NEXT WEEK!
The next four weeks… will be a competition and fundraiser called Pocket Change Wars. Watch the brief introduction video from Mr. Horning at this link https://youtu.be/iaiKYjMxUSY. This is organized by Parent-Teacher Fellowship (PTF). Money raised will help to support classroom and teacher needs at CLA. The students are competing for their TEAMS - the team that brings in the most coins each week gets a prize. Each week, students should bring in a different coin:
Week 1 - Pennies
9/14 through 9/18
Week 2 - Nickels
9/21 through 9/25
Week 3 - Dimes
9/28 through 10/2
Week 4 - Quarters
10/5 through 10/9
So empty those pockets, search the cushions of the sofa, ask grandma and grandpa to do the same…. and get in on the Pocket Change Wars!
Parent-Teacher Fellowship NEEDS YOU! Parents, get involved with PTF - come to the monthly PTF meeting… MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 from 7-7:30 pm. There will be a zoom link available to join remotely. Find out what’s going on and how YOU can get involved!
Technology Corner
Having Tech Issues? Now that our students and teachers have “hit their stride” in the school year, this is a reminder that if you have technology issues - chromebook issues, struggling to get the digital communication from school, or anything else tech-related, please ask for help! We have multiple staff members that can help get these issues solved. Just ask!
Beware - Be in tune with your kids’ safety online - We use GoGuardian and Bark here at school as ways to keep our students safe online with monitoring of online time. One benefit of this is that Bark also gives us regular communication and reminders about issues they are finding. Recently Bark gave us an update about recent facebook and tiktok postings of violence - in particular a video circulating among these social media apps of a suicide. We encourage parents to stay tuned in to children’s online and social media to “guard their hearts and minds” as well as possible. Want to know more? Mrs. Stribling or Mr. Horning would be glad to talk with you!
From the Principal's Desk
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” I think it is a great reminder to us that God has given us a COMMAND to be strong, courageous, unafraid and courageous. Because whenever God gives us a command to follow, He gives us a promise. His promise here: He will be with us wherever we go! What peace and strength it can give us to remember daily that GOD IS WITH US! Thank you, Lord for Your presence!
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
